Coverage: 58 active published awards; 14 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The purpose of this request is to gauge the availability and viability of next generation vehicles to carry out seasonal treatment activities on the UK railway. Currently, a fleet of 32x MPVs carry out leaf busting duties in Autumn, de-icing duties in Winter, and weed spraying duties in Summer. This fleet of vehicles was introduced to the network around 1999/2000 and are now in an end-of-life maintenance regime due to increasing cost of maintenance, obsolescence of parts and reliability concerns
